A visit to Balanan Lake, Siaton, Negros Oriental

The lake while we're on the bangka. Love it!
This is where we stayed for a night. The veranda provides a scenic view of the lake.

Balanan Lake, Siation, Negros Oriental: we visited last 2007.
Lake Balanan is a freshwater rift lake situated in Siaton, in the southern portion of the province Negros Oriental, Philippines. The lake is has three primary inflows all located in the northern end. These are Balanan, Lamarao and Nasig-id Creeks.
At around 5 pm on May 5, 1925, the town was hit by an earthquake triggering a landslide that created a natural dam blocking the waters of Balanan River creating the lake.

Got these two varieties of spathoglottis when we went to Mabinay. I would like to thank the owner of the house where we stopped over for a shade for giving me these. The flowers lasted for more than six months . . . . they just continued to flower . . . . beautiful indeed!

I got this orchid last 2008 during the city fiesta. I forgot the name of the cattleya variety. Please comment if you have any idea.
